N3 Customer Satisfaction
N3 Customer Satisfaction is a key measure for N3 Service Provider and allows N3SP to monitor the levels of satisfaction of customers who use the N3 Network. N3SP is measured on the Dissatisfaction Service Measure score (DSM) with a target of less than or equal to 16%.
N3SP outsource the administration of the Customer Satisfaction process to an independent industry leader in market research, GFK-NOP who fully administer and conduct the Customer Satisfaction process.
A minimum of two Customer Satisfaction survey waves are completed every year. The survey is made up of the following interviews:
- Event Driven Surveys for N3 Delivery and Incident Management
- Perception Surveys for all aspects of the N3 Service
- Face to Face interviews
The surveys are dynamic, interviewees and content are continuously changed. Recent changes to the survey include amending the Service Portal and CRM questions to clarify survey feedback.
Customer satisfaction results are collated and shared with NHS Connecting for Health and NHS National Services Scotland. Survey feedback initiates action planning to address areas of poor response. This is fed into N3SP's continuous improvement programme to improve customer experience, internal processes and train staff and suppliers.
The N3SP Customer Satisfaction ‘Dissatisfaction Service Measure' (DSM) score for Wave 12 stands at 11%, an increase of 1% on the previous wave (10%).
